The checkin process was smooth, the room was clean, and the value was reasonable
I have stayed at Aarons Cottage Amy times. This place is extremely comfortable and clean. I also love the area and how close it is to the ocean. They also have a house available for rent as well for large families. I definitely recommend booking.
Room was nice and it was a easy process with nice people to help

"You get what you pay for" ~ we needed an inexpensive place to stay while on an emergency trip, and this was the best deal for our needs. Positive remarks: The bed was extremely comfortable, courtesy water bottles and snacks provided, good WiFi.

Aaron's Cottage was a wonderful place to stay! Having a private room, but access to the gardens, a shared kitchen, and living spaces was incredibly lovely. They had everything you needed, even some complimentary snacks and water. Thank you Aaron's....I'll be back!
This was the third time I’ve stayed at this little property. It’s wonderful! There’s a little private beach at the end of the street. The staff is really friendly and if there’s any problems, they fix it right away. Clean. Highly recommend it and I never wait for reviews. Lol.

Cottage was even better than advertised, there was a nice shared kitchen available for guests
I had a wonderful stay here. Property was easy to find, clean & quiet. The AC worked great and had the most comfy bed & pillows I have ever slept on! I would definitely stay here again.
I really liked my stay at Aaron's cottage on the Big Island in Hilo. The cottage was clean, and perfect just for me. I visit my son Reg, I will definitely stay at Aaron's cottage again. I like that they had an open kitchen Should you desire to cook a meal.
Quietly located in tropical trees, easy in and out, manager quickly fixed a wifi malfunction after text notification, misterious creatures chirping whistling all night, a general store one mile away
Room was clean. Staff was responsive. Air conditioning was acceptable. Only issue was appearance of small bugs and a lizard but I guess that is acceptable for a property in that area.
My stay at Aaron's Cottage was good, they left detailed instructions on how to self check-in once I arrived. The property itself is close to a beach in the back, close to downtown Hilo, some tourist attractions and restaurants that can be easily accessed with a car. The unit was cleaned and well stocked with essential amenities, it has an air conditioner and ceiling fan to keep the place cool. There's a communal kitchen that can be used if opt to stay in. Overall, the place is quiet and I had a good experience.
